Because even though the outside may be out of bounds on stormy days, your child’s imagination is not! They may transport their fairies to magical kingdoms with flowers, wild mushrooms and little creatures…or perhaps a picturesque flower garden!
Bring the sunshine, flowers, and magic indoors with our fairy garden range – adorable accessories for your little love to create a delightful fairy garden. Think perfectly manicured grass glade, white picket fence, colourful daisies, magical toadstools, hedgehogs, bunnies, ladybugs and of course, a sprinkle of magic fairy dust to help the flowers and garden creatures come alive at night!
Never one to shy away from arts and crafts! Get out the glue pot these school holidays, snip some colourful card (beautifully patterned origami paper is even better!) into pretty flower shapes, use pipe cleaners for stems, stick on some google eyes, douse in glitter/pompoms/whatever's in the crafts box..and you've got a fairy garden wonderland the littlies will be proud of!
]]>No Easter is complete without your very own Mr & Mrs Ester Bunny! Early on Easter morning, they deliver their Easter eggs to all the children in Easter Land and are the most popular parents around...you will be too if you treat your little ones to this adorable pair! They love nothing more than reading stories and chatting with the rest of the Ester family, well they do love the odd cup of tea and Easter chocolate too...Mrs Bunny has to keep a close on on Mr Bunny as he's known to sneak a few too many!
We've all heard of fairy kings and fairy queens - but have you heard of bunny royalty? Princess Ester has hippity-hopped all the way to our world just in time for Easter celebrations and is the perfect chocolate-alternative gift for littlies. Her favourite activity is hosting a tea party with carrot cake cupcakes for all her fairy friends.

]]>As parents we know how difficult it can be to get the littlies to brush their teeth. Which is where the tooth fairy comes in! A gentle reminder than the tooth fairy is looking forward to adding some milky white teeth to her collection (what does she do with all those teeth, anyway?!) may be just the incentive for the minis to brush and floss without fuss!
As well as being a helpful parenting tool, the tooth fairy creates excitement around toothy milestones. Writing a letter to the tooth fairy is a tradition that we at My Wee Fairy Door love to celebrate which is why we absolutely adore our Tooth Fairy Set. Complete with a fairy door of your choice, fairy dust and stencil, mailbox, envelopes, and a toothbrush set – your little ones will just love writing special notes to the tooth fairy to pop in their mailbox. Or for those who've already a fairy door, the Tooth Fairy Accessory Set has everything minus the door!
The mailbox is the perfect size to deposit a little letter and milk tooth in, ready for the tooth fairy to collect whilst dreams are being dreamt. Remember to swap the tooth for a gold coin by morning to avoid explaining why the tooth fairy must have been too busy collecting other children’s lost teeth to get round all the houses...we’ve all done it!

]]>But back to school isn’t just for little humans. Little fairies will be heading back to school too. Fairy school has lessons just like us, but with a magical twist!
English classes teach fairies-in-training how to write letters to their children friends, budding tooth fairies learn to count and place coins under the pillow, science lessons are all potions and glitter explosions, whilst sports day is filled with flying contests and butterfly races.
Now's the perfect opportunity to use fairy doors to help out at homework time. Little ones can read when fairy is reading, or get their bags ready for school just like those in fairyland do. And maybe, just maybe, if all homework is done without fuss, the Fairy Queen will send a letter through the Fairy Mail to praise your littlies for all their hard work.
]]>And as every little girl or boy will tell you, fairies and elves are experts in putting on a good spread (they don’t call it fairy bread for no reason!) So assemble the little ones, turn up the Christmas compilation, and get ready to whip up some joy-filled delights in the kitchen:
When the eggs have all been beaten, the flour has been sufficiently dusted, and spoons have been licked; it's time for fairyland's imaginary tea parties to begin...and you count on us to have fanciful treats, cakes, pastries and dainty little drinks that are imperative for all fairy festivities!
]]>Talking of elves, they certainly have been busy getting plenty of stock ready in time for Christmas. At My Wee Fairy Door, we’ve got some beautiful new colour fairy doors from duck egg, to dark navy to a very festive dark red…perfect for little elves to make their way from the North Pole to your house. And no door would be complete without a mailbox to send letters to the big man himself and his hardworking little helpers!
Whether you have an Elf on the Shelf or visits from the Christmas Fairy, this is the perfect addition to your festive traditions that can help with at least some of the 24-nights of elfish tricks to conjure up while the kids are asleep! Here are a few ideas to inspire your creativity:
1. Write a letter from your Christmas fairy or Elf on the Shelf and post it in our new customisable (?) mailbox to read to your little one when they wake up. This is perfect to keep them yearning to be on Santa’s Nice List.
2. Sprinkle flour from the fairy door and make little footprints in the snow. Exclaim to your little one how the elves or fairies traipsed snow through the house all the way from the North Pole…I wonder if they would like to help Mummy clean it up!
3. Every night before bedtime, ask your children if they would like to draw a picture or write a letter to their elf or fairy to post in their mailbox. This is a lovely way to have them relax before going to sleep and creates an adorable library of their thoughts that you can treasure and share with them when they’re older.
The new fairy doors and mailboxes are available now, alongside plenty of Christmas accessories to decorate your child’s fairy doors…tiny little trees, fairy-sizes wreaths, nutcrackers and so much more! Get yours and get creative!
]]>I don't know about you but being the mother of two boys my aim is to guide my them to become independent, to be self sufficient and great partners! Roles are more diverse as are our busy lifestyles. If we don't teach, how will they learn?
Not to leave girls out, it applies to them too. When kids learn early to help, cooperation becomes natural and more easily and thankfully the battles get less! Tackling getting dressed in the mornings, keeping rooms tidy and picking up after themselves will soon disappear. Well, improve at least!
Start young with the small things such as making their beds, dusting and picking up their clothes and then work your way up. It doesn't matter if it's not done well, it's the attempt and with a bit of praise they will be proud. Work your way up to vacuuming, folding washing and even cooking dinner. I have listed suggestions based on age group - adapt to your child's abilities.
Let your children become a cohesive part of your family unit contributing positively.
Reward their positive behaviour with a simple note from their fairy praising their good work, through to leaving $0.50 or a biscuit. Positive affirmation instills positive habits.
Start a Chores For Scores chart where they can pick chores voluntarily for said rewards. This teachers them the value and benefit of hard work. I've attached a our free printable chore chart for your use.

If you're struggling with bedtimes, check out this handy kids sleep calculator to make sure you are in the right ballpark for bedtime. You know if you're child needs more or less than the average and this calculator offers various times to suit yours.
Leave notes in the mailbox for the kids from the fairies praising them for not getting out of bed, perhaps even $0.50, or a ticket for a trip to the park. Young kids thrive on motivation and reward.
]]>Here's a pic from Sarah Thomas, she says 'the elves are moving around the house every night in the lead up to Christmas to check out who's on the naughty or nice list!. Thanks My wee fairy door for helping with the Christmas magic
A great way to have fun with our doors.
Combine with a miniature mailbox and leave a message each night with a 'naughty' or 'nice'. Super motivational😉
Thanks for share Sarah x

The magic of our doors for children is how they unleash their imagination and create delight in the stories they tell. And a wonderful way to enhance the magic is to leave special notes, items and even presents for very good behavior.
Here we have examples of fairytale maps. Age them with a little crinkle, sprinkle with a little magic dust, tie them with a ribbon or a small piece of rope and leave by their fairy door to find in the morning. Wow! A secret map of their own fairies enchanted land. Don't forget to name their fairy xo.
